When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 22 Do You Still Love Him?

“What about Miss Clayton’s apology to Starlight Media’s owner regarding the leaked email?” asked the reporter who spoke up. “Do you think she should have done that? Will there be a formal apology in person?”

“No,” Leo swiftly answered. “It is not Elyse’s fault.”

He then slowly turned to look into the camera. “I have a word of advice for that woman; you are young and healthy. There are plenty of ways to earn a living. Being a homewrecker is the most foolish and risky path. It is best to avoid it.”

As if he knew Amelie was watching, his eyes were cold and ruthless the entire time he spoke.

He was lecturing her!

While Amelie had appeared before reporters many times, she had always subconsciously blocked her face. No one, not even four years ago, had yet to take a photo of her entire face.

Thus, none of the reporters realized Leo’s ex-wife was the woman the Starlight Media president was allegedly having an affair with. All they felt was confusion upon hearing his speech.

Why would Leo Alston give this random woman a word of advice?

Meanwhile, Julia had exploded with fury. She flung a slipper at the television, which landed on Leo’s face.

Still, it was not enough to calm her anger. She hopped up, itching to argue with Leo.

“Don’t go. There is no need.” Amelie suppressed her pain and grabbed Julia.

“What else can I do? Should I just let him slander you? Am I to let him bully you around?” Julia was beyond herself with anger. She was so furious that she might explode.

“Don’t worry,” said Amelie. “I will not let him push me around.”

Since Leo decided to trample all over her, why should she protect him?

“That’s it!” Some semblance of calm finally appeared on Julia’s face when she heard that. “We will now put out an announcement. We will let them know that you are the president of Starlight Media!”

“We have to make an announcement, but it will not be about that,” Amelia replied.

…

The press conference came to an end.

Suzie thereafter followed Elyse into the van.

“You sure are something, Elyse,” exclaimed Suzie. “You actually made Mr. Alston help you out. With his support, all of the ridiculous rumors will stop!”

Suzie was Elyse’s manager, but she did not know Elyse was behind the whole debacle about the leaked emails.

She let out a huge sigh of relief, for she had been worried sick over what happened the entire day.

“Alright.” She patted Elyse on the back of her hand. “With Mr. Alston’s protection, your career will be smooth sailing from now on.”
